Show Notes

In 1943 allied surveillance picked up the construction of V1 and V2 rocket sites in France. Without quite knowing the extent of the threat allied planners decided to embark upon a pre-emptive campaign to deny the Germans the use of these sites, the code name was Operation Crossbow.

It would be an Anglo-American Operation with ran up until the end of WWII, in 1945.

I'm joined by Steven Zaloga.
